New UF blackberry varieties could provide a boon for farmers looking to rebound after the decline of Florida citrus and who see an opportunity to meet the growing demand for blackberries, which have soared in popularity in recent years.
Falling off a horse at high-speed changes the impact to the rider鈥檚 head and the parameters for a quality helmet, according to new research from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab.聽聽 Published on April 28 in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering, the findings from researchers Steve Rowson and Lauren Duma indicate that head impacts during falls at high speed generate unique head rotation, which in turn, directly affects helmet behavior.
Researchers have uncovered multiple new genes and genetic pathways that could lead to repurposing hundreds of existing drugs for osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis.

A team of international astronomers have embarked on an exciting new project to hunt for planets forming around young stars. The exoALMA project, using the powerful Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, is peering into the dusty disks where planets are born. Thanks to newly developed advanced imaging techniques, exoALMA has revealed the most exquisite images of young solar systems, never before seen by astronomers. This research project involved 17 papers published in a special issue of the Astrophysical Journal of Letters, with several more coming this summer. ALMA is supported in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation through the NSF National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO).
Researchers have uncovered new insights into electrochemical CO2 reduction, a process by which energy from the sun can be used to convert carbon dioxide into liquid fuels and other useful chemicals.
Researchers from UC San Diego found that children diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are at significantly increased risk of premature death and serious long-term health complications. The study, which followed 1,096 children over an average of 8.5 years. Nearly half of all deaths in the cohort were liver-related, and the overall mortality rate was 40 times higher than that of similar peers in the general U.S. population.
CommunityRx-Hunger, a low-intensity program that 鈥減rescribes鈥 a list of community social care resources during a child's hospital discharge, lowered emergency room visits for food-insecure families and potentially saved healthcare costs.
